Arcadia Items.

There have been but few changes since last
Wrote. One thing, however, that occurred
was little street exhibition last week by
one OF our nimrOds just as he was leaving
town for deer chase. 1t seems that the
horse gave way entirely to the law of gravity
and started toward the centre Of the earth.
No damage except muddy clothing, an angry
rider and a mud hole wiped entirely dry.
May you be more fortunate next time, my
friend.
Paul Hinchey has returned from an ex-
tended business trip through "Rackensack"
aud southern Missouri.
W. A. Flowers is taking clay off" for q
day or two.
Mr.. Squares family nave left Arcadia and
gone to Chicago, but we hope they will soon
return and make this their permanent home.
Quite number Of our people will visit St.
Louis this week. "Granny" will not be there
to shake hands with the President.
Al. Hinchey was here last week, minus q
thumb which he lost while coupling cars the
other day.
am informed that Q gentleman by the
name of Thompson, from Brunot, has ptir-
chased the Arch Lee property. Wewelcome
you, Mr.. Thompson, but we would rather see
you build house than to buy one.
Mr.. Body has moved from Ironton to one
Of Mrs. Peck's cottages.
Rev. Mr.. Fleenor preached his first sermon
to the Fort Hill congregation to-day. be-
lieve that the people generally are very well
pleased with him as divine.
Now, q word in regard to our Sunday
school. If you Arcadians would peep In
some time and see Mr.. Whitworth, DR.. Far.
lar and few others so.earnestly engaged In
Sunday school work and trying SO hard to
build up a Sunday school, I think you would
try to come and encourage them with your
presence. There are dozens Of children In
this town whose parents should see that they
attend Sunday school instead of running al
large on the streets. Again there is quite
number of grown up young people who sell
dom attend. Young lady, young gentleman
of Arcadia, we need you at Fort Hill every
Sunday morning to help sing and assist In the
!, work of building up strong Sunday school
Now boys, from twelve to seventeen years
old. just postpone your base ball next Sun
day and all of you come to Fort Hill. Sab.
bath school lasts only about one hour, and
know any one can spare that much time
Perhaps you say it is dead and dry and un'
interesting. Then that is just why we wan
you to come. We want to be encouraged by
your presence, and we need you. We think
that more of the old people should attend
and encourage the young ones to come
Now I hope that, on next Sunday, every
parent in and near Arcadia will see that hi'
children attend Sunday school. Grown uI
people and old people, we want you all tt
come and bring your husbands, wives, sons
daughters, brothers, sisters, sweethearts ant
neiyhbors. Let us have q school i'm the true
| sense.
Well, the long talked of wedding will occur
Tuesday, October 4th. "Uncle Pete" Is ,
true prophet; for he prophesied this severa
weeks ago. Now, "UncIe," who comes

in regard to some prospective weddings Owe
here, but can't quite announce anything
yet. However, am getting more light OF
the subject every day. Gentle readers, jus
be patient, they will come by and by, ant
"Granny" is making tremendous effort t.
Join the procession.
I promised to say something about has
ball, but I have said too much already thi
time; so I ask you to please excuse SO man
! words and so few thoughts. GRANNY.
